COMBINATION-TOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 8, 1916.

Application filed December 13, 1915. Serial No. 86,534.

To all whom 1' 23 may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. MARION, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Franklin, county of Merrimack, State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of my tool complete; Fig. 2 is an edge elevation of the same; and, Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the swinging anvil between the main jaws of the pliers.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple tool of the pliers type which shall be especially adapted for eyeleting and lacing driving-belts, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

The letter a designates a pair of handles pivoted together by a pivot bat the point where they cross and provided with a pair of jaws c. \Vhere the handles cross they are flattened to form disk-like portions d, and the edges of these disks, at points between the handles and the jaws, are notched at e to form wire cutters. Pivoted to the end of each handle is a tool, one bein a needle-awl f and the other being a kni e-blade g, the former being especially adapted for threading the lacing wire through the punched holes in the belt and the latter being adapted for trimming the ends of the belt. Both these tools are held normally against the inner faces of the handles, pocket-knife fash ion, by suitable flat springs h, and to receive and protect the points of these tools the inner faces of the handles are recessed as shown.

The pivot 5 projects at both ends beyond the disks d and on these projecting ends is pivoted the forked arm z' of an anvil j which is adapted to freely swing between the jaws 0, this anvil beingltapered inwardly toward the p1vot so that t e Working faces of the jaws c, which are radial with respect to the pivot b, shall abut squarely against the opposite faces of the anvil. One of the jaws c is provided with a punch 7a which is adapted to work in a corresponding recess 1 in the ad acent face of the anvil, and the opposite face of the anvil together with the adjacent face of the other jaw is preferably serrated or roughened. Between the working faces of the jaws and the pivot b the jaws are curved outwardly and serrated at m, and the shank of the anvil is correspondingly inwardly curved and serrated at n.

It will be observed that the serrated recesses m and a form two sets of tongs which may be employed for turning round rods or pipps. The jaw carrying the punch may be employed for punching the holes in the belt and inserting eyelets, while the opposite jaw and the opposite face of the anvil may be used in the same manner as ordinary pliers, it being obvious that when one jaw is used the anvil will lie against the opposite jaw and in effect serve itself as a jaw.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.*

A tool of the liers type consisting of crossed handles pivoted together and each provided with a jaw, and an anvil between said jaws freely swung on the ivot connectin the handles, one of said aws being provi ed with a punch.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses this 27th day of August 1910.

CHARLES EPHRIAM MARION.
